(1) Any person selling new or reusable tires at retail shall accept from a customer at the point of transfer, used or waste tires in a quantity at least equal to the number of new or reusable tires purchased, if offered by the customer. The retailer may assess a disposal fee on each tire sold. If the retailer imposes a disposal fee, the retailer is prohibited from imposing a disposal fee on the customer in excess of the actual per tire disposal costs incurred by the retailer and is also prohibited from waiving the disposal fee if the customer keeps the used or waste tire. In addition, if a retailer is required to remit the waste tire fee in Section 17-17-423 directly to the State Tax Commission, the fee shall be considered a part of his actual disposal costs.

(2) Any tire retailer, tire wholesaler, motor vehicle dismantler and salvage dealer may hold not more than five hundred (500) waste tires for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days without being authorized as a waste tire collection site, if such tires are stored in a manner which protects human health and the environment pursuant to regulations adopted by the commission.
